LAUREL HILL — Organizers are wrapping up planning for the Holiday Hills Music Park Fall Bluegrass Festival.
Bands will take to the stage in Alford Ranch's pole barn, just as they had for the spring festival after the original performance barn burned down in an accidental blaze.
For bluegrass music fans like Lena Dietiker, that’s good news.
“They’re the nicest people, and it’s always a great time,” the Crestview resident said.
Festivities begin Oct. 16 with a covered dish supper followed by bluegrass jammin’ on the stage. The next day, bands play from 6-9 p.m.
Featured bands include Straight and Narrow, The Alabama Gentlemen, Cedarrock, Dismal Creek, Route 55 and Truegrass. Arts and crafts will be on exhibit and offered for sale. Food is available at the park’s Country Kitchen.
Attendees should bring lawn chairs — no high-backs — and pets on a leash are welcome at the campground. Food isavailable for purchase at the park’s Country Kitchen.
Hook-ups are available for $15 for those who bring their campers or trailers. Rough camping is free.
